A costume of foulird silk always calls
for universal admiration. and is re-
ferred to - $50 nice and lady-like." -
And the approval is well deserved. The
fouiari gown is light in weight and re-
fined in appearance. and plenty Of ms
terial 10 the only requisite to = charm
ing effect. The silk is 50 soft and light
that not only does it fall naturally into
folds. but will fall to the figure 10 much
that appearances Of scantiness Is often
the result; hence the demand for ample
drapery.
Among the foularis some striped
effects are especially smart; one shows
heliotrope stripes alternating with
stripes of cream on which are electrical
figures Of heliotrspe. The same effect
is shown in green and cream. red and
cream and old-blue and white. Stripes
of fine flowers alternate with stripes in
q solid color. and stripes entirely of the
many-hued blossoms are also seen. A
black stripe has next to it a white one
on which the buds-scarleta and green
are daintily placed. the entire contrast
suggesting the suitability of black
velvet and white lace as trimming.
The white-and-black comminglings are
particularly good and merit the COM
mendation they receive. Heliotrope is
shown with hair-lines Of white, some
times singly and sometimes in groups
of several lines forming stripes: while
dark gray. two shades of mode. dark
green and brown have large half-circles
in single lines and contrasting colors
thrown here and there upon them.
The corded foulard is novelty. It
is in white, cream. rose. pale blue,
pale yellow and heliOtrope. and the de-
signs upon it are tiny conventional
blossoms or quaint figures in the flower
tints. The heliotrope. which is in shade
sufficiently light to be called lilac az Of
old. has tiny bud in garnet upon it.
and is made up with the skirt showing
a decoration of dark heliotrope velvet
Just about the lower edge. The drap-
cry, which looks almost like another
skirt, is finished with hem. drawn up
in graceful way At each side and ar
ranged in the back 70 present q boufani

round ones so much liked. becoming

ter Of the back and ut each side Of the
closing. The broad belt is also of the
velvet and is pointed in front. The
high collar is of the velvet and above
it shows a fold of fancy silk ribbon the
same shade. The sleeves stand high at
the shoulders and are gathered tn
broad cuff-like wristbands of velvet:
they are very smart and add materially
to the dressy air of the gown. With
this costume is worn a heliotrope straw
bonnet decorated with loops of hello
trope velvet and garnet grosgrain rib
bon. The parasol is made of material
like the gown.
Among the wool materials both plain
and fancy stuffs are shown. combina-
tons Of the two usually being arrang.

the stripes are bars of brown velvet that
follow each other in ladder

Of colors AS the last. Other fancy stuffs
show trise stripes in tloriatcd patterns
upon contrasting grounds; garnet and
gold are on dark green. and white and
dark brswn are on mode.
Flowers in silk alternate with velvet
Or satin stripes on the plebeian wool.

in the most artistic way. A palmer ef.

appears to be stamped on the material.
